About Sarah

My name is Sarah and I am a the proud parent of one very cute German Shorthaired Pointer called Matteo.  

Matteo and I are both used to dogs coming into our home as I am a Guide Dogs Victoria Puppy Raiser who has raised 7 puppies and cared for many more. Matteo loves having someone to play and explore with. Matteo will mirror his companions behaviour so if your dog likes to relax then Matteo will copy that behaviour, if your dog prefers some playtime then Matteo will happily oblige.  

My job allows me to work from home and the flexibility to provide your dog a fun and safe place to stay when required. Our large 1 bedroom apartment features fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to toilet, play and explore. The fences are extremely high and impossible to jump. We also have a lot of local park options such as Fairview and Burnely parkts.  

During the day I will be set up in my study which can accommodate your pup, alternatively it is right next to the living area where your dog can join Matteo who likes to stretch out on the couch, snuggle chair or large dog bed. There is also an endless supply of dog friendly toys.  

You will be kept up to date with pictures throughout your dogs stay so that you can relax knowing your dog is happy.   

Experience in administering medication and can be accommodated if required.
